Week... um, i lost track of time :) Merry Christmas

Hey All! So i know i started this blog to keep everyone updated, and i know i haven updated it since September, but I have graduated college and will have more time to pay attention to this wonderful blog :) 

Christmas is coming up soon! only 5 more day's until our First Christmas together, and i am very excited! Jesse and I have gotten a few presents for each other, and the rest of the presents are from my mom and Dad! arent they sweet! We don't have big plans for the Holiday, but we are sleeping in for sure! 
How are things in Alaska you say? Well things are going pretty great here. We have gotten about 4 feet of snow so far, but much of it has melted! We still have over a foot on the ground most places, but the rain has caused most of our streets etc to be covered with a thick layer of ice! Jesse fell the other day, and hurt his shoulder, hopefully it will go back to normal soon. We miss you all like crazy! i cant believe it has already been almost 2 months since we were home! We were hoping to get back sometime this spring, but now it looks as though we wont be back until August, but we will hopefully be back then because we have a wedding to go to!
Graduating college has been a wonderful gift! i have so much more time to spend not worrying about homework! Thanks to this extra time, i am going to start working out every day. My coworker and friend Geneva and I have been walking a few times a week over our lunch break, but i think it is time to take it to the next level, it is time to get fit! I have gained some weight since we moved, and everyone tells me it is natural because the body puts on weight in preparation for a cold long winter, but i keep telling them that i am not a bear! haha. I don't plan on losing weight, but if i do that will be great, i just want to get fit and be able to hike the mountains when the snow melts! Jesse is so supportive! 

The pictures below were ones that we took testing out our new tripod, and getting pictures of our new tree. I hope you enjoy. I will likely be updating more often now that I have some extra time on my hands! Hope you all have a fantastic holiday! Merry Christmas!

Love,
Jesse and Samantha
